Abstract

A metalwood type golf club head is disclosed including an reinforcing outer support band which provides additional strength and mass on outer surfaces of the club head and further includes an elongated weighted insert formed with said reinforcing band to add additional weight to outer peripheral surfaces of the club head.

Description

The present invention is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 09/081,948, filed May 21, 1998 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,989,134.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to golf club heads and, in particular, to metalwood heads having an improved outer reinforcing and weighting system. In my prior U.S. Patent application, I described a golf club head having a reinforcing outer support system for a metalwood type golf club head formed of various embodiments using reinforcing band-like or bracing on the outer peripheral surfaces of the club head. The reinforcing outer support members extend along the bottom surface, the side surfaces and top surfaces of the club head in various configurations and combinations allowing the club head to be made of thinner and lighter materials while maintaining the strength and integrity necessary to overcome the impact and torsional forces experienced when the club head strikes a golf ball at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.
In addition, it has been recently recognized that lowering or locating more weight closer to the bottom of a golf club head advantageously lowers the center of gravity, and makes it easier for a golf ball to be played from difficult lies that are encountered on the golf course while playing a game of golf. To this end, there are a number of golf clubs currently being sold in the commercial market which recognize and address this problem. A specific golf club of this type has an inverted club head structure with the bottom of the club head being larger than the top in an upright trapezoidal shape. Another club head recognizing this problem incorporates tungsten weights recessed into the bottom of the club head to lower the center of gravity. Still another golf club head includes a weighted disc located on an inner bottom surface of the metal shell forming the club head to lower the center of gravity.
The present invention relates to improvement of a metalwood golf club head having at least one reinforcing outer support member which may be combined with heavy metal weighted inserts retained in the outer support member, located on and extending beyond the outer surface of the club head. This specifically locates a substantial portion of the overall weight of the club head, at its lowermost position, moving the center of gravity toward the weighted insert, making it easier for the golf club head to be used to hit golf shots with specific shot configurations. Preferably, the reinforcing member and insert attached thereto, is located beyond the bottom surface of the club head thereby shifting the center of gravity downwardly to an extreme lowermost position, making it easier to hit a golf ball from difficult lies when playing a game of golf.
The increased weight difference of heavy metals to steel, precisely located behind and adjacent the ball striking area on the club face, permits a greater transfer of energy, at impact. Having this much heavier tungsten insert, located behind and parallel to the lower portion of the club face, greatly increases club head feel, stability and accuracy. However, also adding tungsten inserts to the auxiliary sole members, located in a perpendicular direction to the club face, provides the optimum performance results. Adverse torqueing, twisting and "knock-back", are incredibly unaffected when off-center ball contact occurs, on the club face. Balls travel straighter, farther with hardly any noticeable diminishing or negative effect from strong crosswinds or head winds when encountered in the direction of the intended targeted ball-flight.
One embodiment of the heavy metal tungsten inserts, is located parallel to and practically across the entire back of and lower portion of the club face. This provides the additional heavier mass required to off-set any negative effects from "thin shots" or "off-center" ball contacts, anywhere on the club face. Since the heavy metal tungsten inserts are located and contained in the raised reinforcing outer sole members, the significant weight mass extends beyond the bottom surface of the club head. This design creates golf club heads having the lowest possible center of gravity construction which is most advantageous for club heads such as drivers, fairway woods or utility clubs.
The reinforcing outer support members, located on the outer walls, uniquely surround the club head to provide a formidable bracing structure, not found in any prior art club heads. The support members are also very versatile. They may be hollow, solid or partially filled. They may also retain a heavy metal insert. They may be raised flat, band-shaped members, with rounded, curved or other desired outer shaped surfaces.
One of the most significant features of this invention is the capability to locate the reinforced outer support members at the extreme outermost surfaces of the club head. This not only provides a formidable bracing support system for the overall club head, but also locates and distributes substantial mass, beyond the outer sidewalls, bottom and top surface or crown of the club head. This produces a club head with high-tech built-in features that dramatically resist the adverse affects from "torqueing" and twisting when "square ball contact" is not made. In addition, a much larger "sweet-spot" is created on a "club face of an average size" metalwood club head. This accounts for the unusual solidness and superior feel, impacting a golf ball, even for "off center" hits--the balls go straighter and farther, even from the toughest lies, such as thick grass, rough and bunkers. Needless to say, this is most appreciated particularly during play in severe, adverse weather conditions. The reinforcing outer support system is a very gratifying, practical innovation that helps produce the best performance possible, from all calibers of golfers.
In a primary embodiment of the present invention, a metalwood golf club head including a hosel and club head body having an upper surface, lower surface, heel, toe, side surfaces and ball striking face, is provided with at least a lower reinforced outer support member extending in a front to rear direction and located on and extending beyond the bottom surface of the club head. The lower support member further includes at least a cavity or depression into which heavy metal tungsten or other similar weights can be inserted. The weights are positioned longitudinally with respect to the support members and which may be located parallel to the club face or may also extend from the club face in a front to rear direction. Because the lower support member and the additional tungsten weights are proportionately heavier with respect to the overall weight of the club head, the center of gravity of the golf club head is lowered considerably to achieve improved overall performance.
Among the objects of the present invention is the provision of a metalwood type golf club head having a lower raised reinforced outer support member located beyond the bottom surface of the club head and an improved weight configuration to lower the center of gravity.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a metalwood type golf club head, specifically designed to maximize the performance of golf balls hit from difficult lies encountered during the playing of a round of golf.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a metalwood type golf club head, in which weight and reinforcing members may be added on the bottom, top, and side surfaces of the club head.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description when viewed in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which set forth certain embodiments of the invention.
